Not only has everything we predicted about this terrible presidency come true, the Junta has managed to surpassed even our worst nightmares with a ridiculous combination of evil and stupidity.

So yes we are going to win in november and take our country back, but then what do we do with it? I think that Bush has managed to break a few things that can never be fixed.

1. I'm not so sure about getting the country back
I think we'll probably depose *, but if we don't win Congress, we haven't won the country back. Alternatively, we could get Congress and push through tax increases on the upper elites and then lose Congress again, as we did in 1994.

2. I've often wondered that as well. I heard Molly Ivins speak and I look
to her words every so often when I reflect upon this. She brought us back 40 short years to the civil rights struggle, and so many trying moments in our history. She reminded the audience of just how quickly things can change. When I put things in that perspective, I am hopefull.

3. What things?
I'll basically be optimistic about life if Kerry and a Democratic Congress gets elected. I think eventually Kerry can turn it around. It might take a long while to pay down the deficit.

6. Our relationship with the rest of the world
is the first to come to mind, and just about everything else that is wrong with our country if we don't get a serious majority in congress. Kerry could easily end up being forced into the same situation that Clinton was running the country be executive order alone.

4. Well, let's wrestle the office away from the Mass Murderer first,
then worry about what to do next. Confidence is good unless it is foolish. Even if The Moron Chimp loses, what makes you think he'll hand the country over?

5. I agree
Wish we could just let Nader win, because whatever president tries to effect the necessary repairs to the massive trauma inflicted by this administration (and some past *hint* *hint* Current Events) to our country, our government, social programs, taxes and deficit will surely be unpopular :(
